Stats for this game
Matchup Willem II VS NEC Nijmegen
NEC set the stronger direction
NEC Nijmegen’s advantage is reflected in the 4–1 away victory at Willem II on 15 August 2026 and the 1–0 away win on 22 December 2021. Those results show NEC succeeding in Willem II’s setting, while the 1–1 draw at NEC on 3 May 2025 supplies a measured counterpoint. The overall profile remains clear, but these meetings include both a controlled NEC win and a contest that stayed level. Venue has not removed NEC’s edge, yet it has not made every match identical.
Willem II’s home reply matters
Willem II’s 4–1 home victory on 22 December 2024 is the strongest direct answer in the matchup. It demonstrates that the score can reverse sharply when the teams meet in Tilburg, even though NEC’s wider position remains stronger. Read together, the results contain two NEC wins, one Willem II win and one draw, with both clubs claiming a substantial scoreline. A future meeting will test whether NEC can reinforce the wider hierarchy or Willem II can produce another forceful home reply.
